StarTree

warning

This guide uses a legacy method of connecting with Dekaf and is presented for historical purposes. For new integrations or to migrate your existing Dekaf setup to the new workflow, see the Dekaf materialization connector.

In this guide, you'll learn how to use Estuary Flow to push data streams to StarTree using the Kafka data source.

StarTree is a real-time analytics platform built on Apache Pinot, designed for performing fast, low-latency analytics on large-scale data.
